Boko Haram Declares war on govt officials’ Wives.

The Islamic insurgent group, Jama’atu ahlis sunnah lil
daawati wal jihad, popularly known as Boko Haram, has declared war on Northern
leaders, governors and government officials.

A video recorded in Hausa language by its leader Abubakar
Shekau,was posted on YouTube, the group said it would begin to target the
leaders.

“This message is for those in authority (emirs, governors,
and government officials). Wallahi you have no resting place again and no
resting time again, either we are here or we are not,” the group said.

Shekau did not elaborate on the group’s reason for deciding
to target Northern leaders, but said “you (the Northern leaders) have messed up
yourselves and you have messed up your own situation.”

The insurgents also condemned what they described as the
lies of negotiations with government officials. Shekau said his group was not
negotiating and had no plans to negotiate with the government.

“The claim that we are negotiating with the state is untrue,
that is the figment of their imagination.” He said: “We are not in dialogue
with anyone, but this seems to feed their taste or their appetite for
disinformation.”

While denying peace negotiation, the Boko Haram leader
admitted that some of their members had been killed by security operatives.

“All I can confirm is that they are killing us rather than
dialoguing with us,” he said.

Shekau also accused the security operatives of targeting
female members of the sect. He alleged that the women are tortured after
incarceration by security agencies.

“As at Saturday when I made this video, between 7 and 10 of
them (women) have been incarcerated,” Shekau said. “We don’t know where they
are kept or what they are doing to them.”

The Boko Haram leader said his group would retaliate by
focusing its attack on women related to security and state officials.

Mr. Shekau also condemned the video, made by an Israeli
–American, which ‘dishonours’ Prophet Muhammed.

“I have words for you (the makers of the video). All these
have no impact on the prophet you know, however you wait and see what the
consequences will be for you,” he said.

The Boko Haram leader also claimed that the alleged arrest
or killing of the group’s spokesman, Abu Qaqa, and other leaders, was not true.
Even though he admitted to the killing of many of its members, Mr. Shekau
claimed the group’s leadership is still intact.

“The most bogus of these claims is that the leadership of
our group has been decimated or arrested,” Mr. Shekau states while laughing.
“It is probably the leadership of the rogue group that they killed which they
created in the first place.”

He said Abu Qaqa, the group’s spokesman is alive and that
any information to the contrary was false.

“You can go ahead and even declare
that this broadcast is fiction,” he said.
